although I perhaps naively assume if they removed the tax free allowance
The chances of the 25% tax free from a pension being removed, must be about zero. It is an integral part of how pensions work, and without it the rationale for saving in a pension for the large majority would disappear. This and previous Govts have made it clear that they want more people to save more in pensions, not less. Also it would be very very politically unpopular, so another reason it will not happen.

Sorry I misunderstood your post, yes I agree no future increases seem likely at this stage. Your scenario of hitting the current Lump Sum Allowance confirms i should be dropping pension contributions when I am able to.
